Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 24
Dear Grandma,
We sure did miss you at the Thanksgiving table.  You made holidays exactly what they should be, a celebration of love, life, family and tradition.  To carry on your traditions, Aunt Christy asked mom to bring some fun decoration treats like you used to.  Needless to say hers are not half as good as yours, but we made it work.  We made turkey suckers out of chocolate, candy acorns and Teepees.  They turned out pretty good.  We know that you would have given them that extra special something to make them perfect.  We celebrated at Brad and Christy's.  We kept waiting for you to come downstairs or turn the corner to enjoy the festivities, but were reminded that can't happen.  Still hard to understand.  We did have the ping pong tournament.  Bo and Brady were sorry they missed it.  Pretty good competition this year.  Jaxon was able to play.  He did pretty good.  In the end, Nate won--I think we were all a little surprised :) but he deserved it.  Grandpa lost to Brad--pretty hard to take.  All in all it was a fun day to celebrate how blessed we are.  We are trying to concentrate on how lucky we are to have had you in our lives.  It sure doesn't dull the pain.  When you are blessed with someone so amazing it is hard when they are no longer around.  We miss you so much!
We hope you got our Thanksgiving balloons--no turkey attached this year, maybe next time :)
We love you!
Forever and Always,
Jaxon, Justus, Jace, Jett
